Texas is welcoming No. 1 Alabama to town on Saturday in a highly anticipated Week 2 matchup.
The two historic programs have not met since the 2010 BCS National Championship game where Colt McCoy left the game with a shoulder injury. The Crimson Tide went on to win the game 37-21.
Alabama is the heavy favorite for the upcoming matchup on Sept. 10, but Texas is hoping to shock the world and prove that they can hang with the best team in the country.
The Longhorns will have to have near perfect performances from many young players on Saturday. Nick Saban will likely force Texas to beat them through the air, therefore Quinn Ewers will need time in the pocket and improve upon his downfield accuracy from last week. Texas’ young offensive line will also have their hands full with Will Anderson and Dallas Turner.
Here’s a look at five offensive players for Texas to keep an eye on this week.
